A small adjustment needs to be made to the western boundary so the boundary of HOU9 follows the allocation.

Please see supporting covering letter which sets out amendments required in order for the plan to be made sound.
This cover letter sets out that Trakbak Racing LTD agree with the council’s assessment that the following six sites, 1002, 529, 531, 527, 519 and 532, are not suitable for a housing allocation. Trakbak Racing LTD object to the allocation of these six sites because their allocation would be contrary to paragraph 35 of the NPPF which explains that in order for local plans to be found sound, they must be in accordance with policies of the NPPF.
These representations also explain that the ‘Spatial strategy and Site allocations’ chapter of the emerging local plan be amended, with Santa Pod Raceway (SPR) allocated under a specific policy allocation which reflects the primacy of the venue and looks to support its future growth. Further to this, to protect SPR from the effects of inappropriate housing development proposals on its business, it is explained that an exclusion buffer zone for residential development around SPR should be outlined in Please see supporting covering letter which sets out amendments required in order for the plan to be made sound.

This would represent a positive response to the issue of housing around SPR and would ensure that paragraph 187 (‘agent of change’) of the NPPF is complied with, and therefore ensure the soundness of the emerging Bedford Local Plan 2040.
